| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Level 2 | Sett | Level 2 stays yours as your E-Q combo outdamages his melee last-hitting. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Level 3 your Facebreaker-Haymaker burst beats his short-cooldown poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Levels 4-5 you keep tempo control before Feast stacks matter. |
| Level 6 | Sett | Level 6 your R slam-plus-true-damage all-in cleanly beats his non-duel ultimate. |
| First item | Sett | First item you still tempo-win short trades around his Silence cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Cho'Gath | 2+ items flips to Cho'Gath as Feast stacks and tank scaling let him outsize and execute you. |
You own levels 1-2: Cho'Gath has no waveclear tools that beat a Sett who walks up, and any melee last-hit lets you Q Knuckle Down slow and auto him for free while he can't punish back.
